CP Assessment

In the simulation "Power Up!", a wind facility had a power rating of 2, a cost of 10, and an impact of 1, while a solar facility had a power of 4, a cost of 60, and an impact of 1.
Which of the following statements is correct?
  • A: The wind facilities can produce 20 units of power for LESS COST, but MORE IMPACT than solar.
  • B: The wind facilities can produce 20 units of power for LESS COST, and LESS IMPACT than solar.
  • C: The wind facilities can produce 20 units of power for MORE COST, and LESS IMPACT than solar.
Hint: Answer these questions in order:
  • How many wind facilities do you need to build?
  • How much will all of the wind facilities cost?
  • How much impact will all of the wind facilities cause?
  • How many solar facilities do you need to build?
  • How much will all of the solar facilities cost?
  • How much impact will all of the solar facilities cause?

Honors Assessment

In the simulation "Power Up!", a natural gas facility had a power rating of 6, a cost of 40, and an impact of 5, while a geothermal facility had a power of 6, a cost of 60, and an impact of 2.
Which of the following statements is correct?
  • A: The natural gas facilities produce a given amount of power for LESS COST, but MORE IMPACT than geothermal.
  • B: The natural gas facilities produce a given amount of power for LESS COST, and LESS IMPACT than geothermal.
  • C: The natural gas facilities produce a given amount of power for MORE COST, and LESS IMPACT than geothermal.
  • D: The natural gas facilities produce a given amount of power for MORE COST, and MORE IMPACT than geothermal.
